The Order Came From Assad (Der SPIEGEL interview with former Syrian Vice President Abdul-Halim Khaddam)

Syria's former intelligence chief in Beirut, Rustum Ghazali, could not have done this on his own. And even if Ghazali is a key figure in this crime -- which is what the results of the investigation report suggest -- the orders could only have come directly from President Bashar Assad. Assad said: "If any Syrian is involved in this crime, then I too am involved." There is a great deal of truth to that sentence.

An interesting reading though more circumstantial speculation than hard evidence in my eyes.
